OK I CAN UNDERSTAND SOMEONE NOT WANTING TO GET SHOT BUT HES A FUCKING SOLDIER IN A WAR ZONE HOW FUCKING SAFE WOULD HE LIKE IT A FEW BEERS DOWN THE PUB WITH HIS MATES PULL A BIRD AND GO HOME TO HIS NICE WARM BED.

IF SPEAROUS DIDNT WANT TO GET SHOT AT THEN WHY THE FUCK DID HE JOIN THE ARMY? THEY GENERALY TEND TO GO TO PLACES WHERE BULLETS FLY AORUND ALOT.

THAT ALL SAID THAT STUFF LOOKS WELL COOL BUT ID BET YOU WOULD SWEAT LIKE A GOOD UN!

The soldier in 2025 should be sitting in a hardened shelter 2000 miles away from the adversary, doing a wide scan DNA search of an area for the enemy, then using space based laser platforms to vaproize them. Either that everone go back to swords and shields and fight like real men did.

If a soldier gets shot wearing the inferior body armor that is currently being issued it might not save his life. If his parents mail him a set of good body armor and he dies his family is denied death benefits for their defiance.

Yeah Jenny. I wish more people had your attitude. Nothing more enraging than coming home and having some asshole throw a cup of piss on ya. Happened to me in San Francisco airport after first tour in Nam. It still keeps me awake at night thinking about that hippie asshole and I'm the kind of person who does'nt hold a grudge.

hey pitbull you should look into this type of body armor...see if it comes for your underwears....it would protect your ass from being penetrated.....then again you would cut a hole in them.....forget it.........

Its one thing to have piss get thrown on you for something you felt was right. Its another to dismiss the notion of possible world peace entirely. The man was not a true hippie because he used a hateful way to express his anger and didn't think that it would effect someone who came back from a thing like Vietnam. While hopes for something like peace seems way out of line in a world we live in, it's something that can possibly be acheived. There are two ways to attain this notion of a "golden age"...one is to create an apocolyptic scenerio where the world is burnt in a molten mass of chaos and violence. The end result is peace...the second one, is through the gruelingly sluggish and tedious talks and processess to which all countries can agree to end all forms of war and destroy all forms of country border lines, missles, and religon. Its to these extremes that the world will find a particular unity. I believe its achievable, call me a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. :)
